Dorothy Perkins. 
American Pillar. One of the most valuable 
of the hardy climbers, flowering profusely 
in large compact clusters, brilliant car- 
mine-ros® in color. 
Baby Rambler. Red, a dwarf form of crim¬ 
son rambler, flower similar to Crimson 
Rambler. Is used generally for flower pots. 
Is very handsome. 
Chaplin’s Pink Climber. One of the finest 
pink pergola climbers ever found. 
Large flowers, and a long season 
bloomer. 
Crimson Rambler. Plant a vigor¬ 
ous, hardy climber. Dark red; one of the 
very best for porch work and lattice work. 
Doctor W. Van Pleet. One of the newer 
Primrose. type of climbers which combines absolute 
hardiness with flowers large as in the Tea 
and Noisette classes. This variety shows a mass of beautiful clustered buds, which 
open out into large, shapely flowers; delicate flesh white. 12 to 18 inches long. 
Dorothy Perkins. A beautiful shell-pink climbing rose. This is the finest rose 
for hedging and arbors of any we have ever seen. 
Bxcelsa. This has superseded the old Crimson Rambler. It is vigorous in growth 
with healthy dark glossy green foliage. The flowers are very double, produced in 
large trusses. Color is intense crimson-maroon ; tips of petals tinged with scarlet. 
Gardenia. The tight, very numerous little yellow buds are beautiful in early sum¬ 
mer, the flowers opening up creamy white, jasmine-scented. 
Jacotte. Quite distinct in this class ; not only fragrant, but is rich in heretofore 
unknown color shades. The bud is orange-yellow ; the 2V>-inch flower (clustered up 
to 10), is light salmon-orange shaded red and yellow. Foliage is dark green. 
Mary Wallace. (New). Although a good pillar rose, it becomes self-supporting and 
makes an ideal dooryard bush. The flowers are semi-double, bright clear rose-pink 
with salmon base. These are often 4 inches wide—and appear intermittently during 
the season, following their first glorious outburst in late spring. 
I me. Gregfoire Staechlein. This new variety is the aristocrat of the climbing 
roses. Its beautiful flowers are of an enormous size and in color are an irrides- 
cent pearl-pink, splashed with carmine. Delightfully fragrant. Hardy vigorous 
grower with large disease-resistant foliage. 
Paul’s Scarlet Climber. Winner of Gold Medal of National Rose Society’s 
Exposition. Flowers are scarlet-shaded crimson; corresponds to Climbing 
American Beauty. Dr. W. Van Fleet and others as to size and beauty. Blooms 
long, an excellent variety for pergola work, and one of the best climbers sold. 
Primrose. A pure yellow, hardy climbing rose. Its large, double flowers are 
a soft rich primrose-yellow, and are borne in clusters of four and five on an 
extremely vigorous plant, with beautiful foliage. 
Silver Moon. 4- to 5-inch semi-double flowers; pure white with thick 
clusters of yellow stamens. 
Tausend.sch.on (Thousand Beauties). A rapid growing, almost thorn¬ 
less climber, showing the blood of Rambler, Polyantha and Tea par¬ 
entage. Its innumerable flower clusters make a pretty show in June 
and July. At first the soft pink of Clotilde Soupert, and later deepening 
to a bright carmine-rose. Very vigorous climber. 
Paul’s Scarlet Climber. 
Climbing - American Beauty. 
This climbing form of the fam¬ 
ous pink rose, so long the Amer¬ 
ican favorite for cutting, is as 
lovely and fragrant and deeply 
pink as the bush form. The 
hardy climber blood with which 
it is crossed gives healthy, per¬ 
fect foliage and a strong climb¬ 
ing habit of growth; the super¬ 
abundant bloom in prime before 
the June show of the bush type. 
Allan’s Roses Bloom Better.
